Sooy is accused of running a scheme for 10 years in which a business called TransVantage Group contracted with corporate clients to pay audited freight bills. Sooy converted the cash to her own use, prosecutors say.

In a civil suit last year, Sooy denied fraud allegations.

Prosecutors say she used company money to pay mortgages, buy a Maserati sports car, a share in a yacht and other items for herself and family members.
